They had been at Tomlake Heights last time, which was not Clarenceâs territory.
Today, they were in Thirteen Hall, Clarenceâs own clinic.
How dare someone throw a check in his face?
Clarence lunged forward, picked up the check for one hundred million, and tore it into pieces. âF*ck off...â
The group of people who had followed Selina to the clinic looked at Clarence in disbelief.
âAre you out of your mind?â
âItâs a check for one hundred million dollars. Do you think itâs fake?â
âFool! Why did you tear up a check you could have cashed out all at once if you had taken it to the bank?â
The crowd glared at Clarence as if the check for one hundred million dollars had belonged to them.
Selina looked at Clarence contemptuously. From her perspective, Clarence was not being arrogant. It was just that one hundred million dollars was not enough to impress Clarence.
âTwo hundred million dollars,â Selina said indifferently.
She took her checkbook out of her Hermes bag worth a million dollars, scribbled down âtwo hundred millionâ, and threw the check onto the floor again.
âI want you to take it on your knees.â
Selina smiled playfully. âYou can have the money as long as you pick it up on your knees.
âIâll give you another two hundred million if you treat my father. If you manage to cure him, Iâll give you another billion then too.â
âHisss!â
âTwo hundred million!â
The group of people who had come with Selina gasped. Their eyes all turned red.
âWhat are you waiting for, boy? Hurry over on your knees.â
âItâs two hundred million dollars. Think this through.â
âF*ck! Why are you still hesitating? Two hundred million dollars is right in front of you. All you have to do is to pick up the check on your knees, and you can have two hundred million dollars right away.â
âDo you know who Selina is? With her fortune, two hundred million dollars is nothing.â
âWhy arenât you picking it up on your knees?â
Clarence was unconcerned, but the group of people who had come with Selina were like a bundle of nerves.
It was two hundred million dollars. If it were up to them, they would already be on their knees and picking up the check. It would be easy to get two hundred million dollars just by kneeling.
Clarence looked at Selina with an unwavering expression. âLast warning: f*ck off!â
Selina raised an eyebrow. âClarence, donât take things the hard way when youâve been given a choice.
âI only think youâre good because you saved my best friendâs father.
âOtherwise, would I have asked for you in person, or given you one hundred million dollars before youâve even consulted the patient?
âYou...â
Before Selina could finish, Clarence lunged forward and slapped her, cutting off the rest of her speech.
Slap...
âYou talk a lot.â
There was dead silence.
The group of people Selina had brought along stared at Clarence as if they had just seen a ghost.
âWhat did Clarence just do? How dare he hit Selina?â
âIs he out of his mind?â
Selinaâs face was full of disbelief, and her entire body shook with anger. âHow... How dare you hit me!â
Slap...
Clarence slapped her again. âWhy wouldnât I dare?â
âYou...â
Slap...?Clarence slapped her again. âMe? F*ck off.â
The group of people Selina had brought with her were now gulping frantically, stunned. Selina dared not stay any longer. Clarenceâs overbearingness made her retreat outside Thirteen Hall. She stomped her feet in anger.
âDamn you. How dare you hit me? Iâll make sure you wonât be able to continue running your clinic!â
Gunther walked out and threw her check for two hundred million dollars back at her. âHereâs your check.â
âJust wait and see!â Selina picked up the check and tore it to pieces.
While Selina was making a scene in Thirteen Hall, the Murphy family was holding a party for Miranda at their house.
Originally, Peony and the rest had planned to hold the party at Dragon Soar Heightsâ Villa One, but Miranda had refused, so they had no choice but to hold it at the Murphy familyâs old villa.
The Murphy family had just taken their seats when someone walked in, laughing. âPeony, weâre here again.â
âYosef?â
Peony was surprised to see those people walking into their hall. It was Yosef and his children.
âWhat are you doing here again?â
Yosef had returned from Mediterranean City to Beth City just over a week ago. Why was he back in Mediterranean City so soon?
Yosef pulled a long face. âWhatâs the matter? Are we not welcomed here?â
Peony quickly shook her head and laughed. âYosef, what are you talking about? Why would we not welcome you? Weâre just confused.â
Belle and Melody rushed up to Yosef and the rest, asking them to have a seat and bringing them drinks.
âYosef, what the hell is going on?â
Yosef smiled mysteriously and took a sip of the tea Belle had offered him. âWhat else? Iâm here to give people medical treatment, of course.â
Peony looked at Yosef in confusion. âGive medical treatment? Is it Old Master Wright again?â
Yosef shook his head. âOld Master Wright has long since healed. I came here this time because the richest man in Maple Country has been infected with a terrible disease, which both local and foreign doctors have failed to cure.
âSo the richest man in Maple Country has come back and found many doctors to diagnose him.
âI was lucky enough to be invited again. Itâs a really big deal this time. The deposit alone was fifty million.â
Then, he became confused. âWait, didnât Clarence cure Old Master Wright? Donât you know about it?â
The Murphy family looked at each other in shock.
âClarence cured Old Master Wright? Clarence never told us about it.â
âClarence can cure illnesses?â
âUncle Yosef, are you kidding?â
âYosef, are you sure?â
Peony and the rest were dumbfounded.
However, Mirandaâs heart stirred slightly.
Yosefâs face darkened, looking upset. âDo you think Iâm joking? Clarence cured Old Master Wright the last time.
âI was really ashamed about losing to a junior in the area of medical skills.
âThough I was upset about it, I realized that Clarence is the son-in-law of the Murphy family, and Peony runs Humanity Hallâs branch. Thus, Clarenceâs medical skills are Humanity Hallâs too.
âWhereâs Clarence? Get him to come here. Iâll take him with me in a couple of days to treat the richest man in Maple Country. If we can cure him, Humanity Hallâs reputation will spread overseas.â
Peony still would not believe it. âYosef, are you sure? That little loser Clarence is full of lies. Could he have cured Old Master Wright?â
Melody and Belle nodded too.
âUncle Yosef, you must have gotten it wrong.â
Belle pulled out her phone and found photos of Leanne and Thompson in her photo gallery.
When the Wright family had gone to Humanity Hall for the first time, Thompson had drunk almond tea, which had caused his heart to stop beating. Belle did not know who Thompson and his daughter were. She was worried they would come back to blackmail Humanity Hall, so she had taken the photos as evidence.
âUncle Yosef, see if theyâre the Thompson and Leanne Wright that Clarence mentioned.â Belle gave him the phone.
Yosef looked at it. âYes, thatâs them.â
Belle seemed confident. âUncle Yosef, youâve been conned by Clarence. This father and daughter pair are liars. They came to Humanity Hall to extort us.â
Outraged, Yosef jumped to his feet. âDo you think Iâm a fool? Thatâs really Thompson and Leanne Wright!
âI went to the Wright family house and met them there myself. Could I be blind?â
âHuh?â
Peony and the rest were dumbfounded.
Belle trembled and exclaimed, âOh my God!
âWas it really Old Master Wright that day?
âThey werenât actors Clarence hired?â
Melody said, âNo way...â
They had always assumed that the father and daughter had been actors Clarence had hired to extort money from Humanity Hall.
They had given Clarence some scoldings about it.
Who would have thought they had actually been Old Master Wright and his daughter?
If Yosef had not revealed the truth, they would never have known.
Yosef snorted coldly. âWhy not?
âDo you think itâs fun to lie to you?
âWhereâs Clarence? Ask him to come out, and weâll confront him.â
Peony looked embarrassed. âYosef, Miranda and Clarence are already divorced.â
Yosefâs eyes widened. He was nearly dying of anger. âWhat? Divorce? You asked a man whoâs better at medicine than I am to get divorced?
âAre you out of your mind?
âThis is pissing me off!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou guys really are a bunch of pigs!â
Armstrong turned around to see Miranda in tears.
